The Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd is a super zoom digital camera that works well for experienced photographers. Overall, the camera looks and feels like a smaller version of the DSLR class of cameras, but it does not have the mirror assembly that would define it as DSLR. There is a wide range of manual controls on board that put this camera out of the range of those accustomed to point and shoot photography, yet more experienced photographers can produce professional grade photographs using it.

The 12 x zoom lens allows you to take some really detailed closeups without having to approach too closely. According to Fuji, the S1000fd is the smallest digital camera in the world to have both 10 mega pixel resolution and 12 x zoom.

The entire lot of digital cameras can be broadly categorized into three different basic types: DSLR, which are large, bulky cameras that use a complex mirror assembly to take high quality pictures; compact cameras that can be held in the hand and use small sensors to capture the images; bridge cameras that function similar to DSLR, but are lighter in weight because they lack the mirror assembly. The Fujifilm Finepix S100FS is one of the few remaining cameras that fit into the bridge category.

This camera possesses some unique features, such as a large 2/3 inch 11.1 mp sensor, 14.3 x super zoom lens, and settings that allow you to simulate different grades of Fuji film.

If you are looking for a lightweight, compact, and yet, fully loaded camera, then you should take a look at Fujifilm FinePix S2000HD. This is the latest 10-megapixel super-zoom camera from Fujifilm that has a 15x optical zoom lens with a focal length ranging from 27.6 to 414 mm. The super-zoom feature of the camera allows it to use the Macro Zoom mode that helps the user to get absolutely clear, close-up images as required.

This sophisticated and user-friendly super-zoom camera promises great pictures even when the subject is moving or there has been a slight shake of your hand. This is largely due to its dual image stabilization mode, which is a combination of the Super CCD Sensor and highly sensitive ISO. These two technologies, when combined together, remove the blurred effect caused by movement, making the final picture really sharp and clear. This super-zoom camera has a face detection mode, which helps correct the red eye syndrome, and is much better and accurate than most models.
